AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

patches of light
burst from grizzly greys
like stubborn children

So lovely, Gemma. I love the patches of light amongst the grey, especially those tiny bits of light to the left of the centre. Wonderful.
